Showing Patience

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Heyyyyy worrrrrrllllllddddd!!! What’s up out there all around the globe? Life is good for us in O-town these days. We’ve won seven in a row and we’ve been able to get some rest in games because our entire team is playing so well right now.

Patience was a hard thing for me to learn early in my career because I wanted everything to come to me right away. But I’ve learned that if you stay consistent and keep working, good things will eventually happen.

I told people earlier this year when we kinda hit that skid on the West Coast that we had to be patient as a team. Everybody acted like we were the same team that got to the Finals last season, but we’re a totally different group. We’ve got five new guys and it just took us time to mesh.

Now, you can see those parts fitting together. VC is playing well, Matty Barnes is giving us that edge on the wings, B-Bass is getting some run, J-Will has that ring and knows how to ball and Ryan Anderson is going to help us again in the playoffs.

We want to be peaking in the playoffs, and we’re getting there now. It just took some patience. Y’all see, your boy is learning even though I’m still one of the young guys on the Magic.

I feel bad about what happened to my guy, D-Rose, in the Bulls game last night. We spent a lot of time together last summer going to China on that adidas trip, and I really think my guy is gonna be a star for a long time. But as it turned out, he got hurt in both games we played against the Bulls when we met at the rim.

As a big man, you never try to hurt anybody when they come down the lane. Me and Derrick are cool. I think he’s a great player and a great person. I never want to see him get hurt. But I always tell him, that if you come down the lane, always come off two feet. That way you’ll be on balance. You come off one all it takes is for somebody’s body to hit you and you’re going to fall.

It really upsets me when people say that I tried to hurt him. Like I told fans on twitter, why would I try to hurt one of my friends? That just doesn’t make any sense!

I hope he gets better and that there’s nothing seriously wrong with him. The last thing I would want to do is hurt anyone, especially one of my good friends.

Not sure if y’all got to see it or not, but your boy is on the cover of Men’s Health mag this month. Just trying to show off them guns that I worked so hard to build up. lol. The way I look at it is I work hard on my body to make myself a better player and I’m proud of it, so I kinda of show off for those magazines. And maybe somebody seeing me taking care of my body will inspire them to get in the gym or on the treadmill and stay healthier.

We shot the pictures for that article back in December when we were in L.A. to play the Clippers. Every trip top L.A. is usually a busy one, and that one was wild. And it was the day before my birthday!!! But the pics turned out good, especially the cover one where I look all swole up!!!

If you can snag it, look at the magazine and let me know what you think. Drop me a line on here or hit me on my twitter, facebook, superfan and renren pages.

I’m out y’all.

Reminder about my Ebay Auctions

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Heyyyyyyy worrrrrrld!!! What it is, what it is???

Got us another good `W’ on Tuesday against the Clippers at home. Did ya’ll see your boy’s fastbreak assist when I looked like Magic Johnson making the dish? Everybody on the bench and in the crowd went nuts when I made that pass. Folks go crazier over that sort of stuff now than they do for a dunk.

Wanted to tell you guys again about our auction that we’re having because it’s good some new autographed stuff and some gear from the all-star game back last month in Dallas. Remember some of the profits from this auction are going to provide scholarships for underprivileged kids to my summer basketball camps in Orlando and Atlanta. It’s for a really good cause, so I’m hoping you guys snap up all the stuff real soon.

Here’s what we got this week up on e-Bay. Remember, the name is DwightStuff12:

Autographed NEW White Home Jersey
Autographed NEW Dwight Howard All-Star Jersey
AST NBA BOUNCE ARTI NEW complete pair (3)
NEW SM TS Bounce Commander complete pair (2)

A huge win against L.A.!!!

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Heyyyyyy wooorrld!!! Now that’s what I call a big win!!! Hope y’all all got to see it ‘cause it was a loud and rowdy at Amway Arena as it has been all season. It felt like last May and June in the playoffs with the noise and the way the players were going at one another.

We needed a game like that to sharpen our focus for what we’re about to face in a month in the playoffs. That was two great teams going at it hard. It got nasty and physical, but hey that’s how it goes in the playoffs. It just comes down to your will and refusing to lose.

Since I’m a dog lover, I’ll break it down for you this way: You had a team of pit bulls (us) and a team of cane corsos (da Lakers), and that’s what happens in a game like that. It gets nasty with claws flying and dudes biting and scratching and scrapping. We’re the pit bulls cause pit bulls are a little shorter and cane corsos are a little taller. But hey, we kept scrapping and we got the job done.

Plus, we had heard some yapping from the Lakers that we were considered “puppy dogs,’’ so that gave us a little more motivation. We had to show them that we had the fight and the bite of an alpha dog.

I’ve got to give it up to my man Matt Barnes, who fought Kobe Bryant tooth and nail all afternoon. We don’t win that game without him getting into Kobe and keeping the pressure on him all day. He was contesting shots, fighting for rebounds and he made that huuuuuuuuuuge 3 late in the game to put us up by six points.

And what can I say about my main partner, Jameer Nelson??? That dude is playing so well lately, and that’s a big reason why we have been better. The lil’ man is just fearless driving down the lane and getting on the boards.

‘Meer was the second best rebounder in the game, second to yours truly of course. I gotta say this, ‘Meer is the best dwarf rebounder in the NBA today!!!

I’m so proud of how we kept scrapping and didn’t fold. We knew we’d get the Lakers best shot ‘cause they had lost their last two and they came at us hard several times. But we did what championship teams do – they fought back and fought back again.

I know everybody out there already has the Lakers and Cleveland in the Finals again, and that might be who everybody in America wants to see. But we might have something to say about that again. When we play our brand of ball like we did on Sunday, we know we’re capable of beating any team in the league.

Now, we’ve just got to maintain our intensity and close out the regular season with a hot streak. We want to hit the playoffs playing our best basketball and take no prisoners. That’s having that pit bull mentality and we’re starting to really get it.

Y’all be good and take care out there!!!

My game-worn stuff on e-Bay

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Heyyyyy worrrrrlddd!!! Just want to remind you guys that we have some of my game-worn memorabilia on e-bay if anybody out there is interested. And I know some of y’all are considering how y’all fight over my shoes and jerseys when I throw them in the crowd after games. Some of the money from these auctions will go to fund scholarships for my camps this summer.

When we go on roadtrips, our guy Sid brings along extra shoes and jerseys for me because he knows I get a kick out of giving them away to fans. I love seeing the looks on kid’s faces when I give them a jersey or hand them one of my Adidas shoes.

I like wearing a new pair of shoes to every game, so I might as well give them away. Remember how good a new pair of shoes felt when you were a kid? I always felt like I could dunk on a 15-foot goal when I had a new pair of shoes.

Anyway, here is the stuff that we have now on e-Bay. We’re about to add some of the gear that I wore in the All-Star Game in Dallas soon, so ya’ll keep a close eye out for that.

Here’s what we’ve got in the auction:
3 Autographed Jerseys
6 Commander T-Shirts
3 Complete Pair–TS BOUNCE COMMANDER
2 Complete Pair–AST TS Commander Howard
1 Complete Pair–AST TS Commander Howard LT Finals Edition Game 2
1 Complete Pair–AST NBA Bounce ARTI

Remember my Ebay name is Dwightsstuff12.

Alright y’all. Take care!
